An International Community of Beer Drinkers
with a Purpose
|
Beer Church is a Seattle-based organization dedicated to one simple principle -- make the world a better place one beer at a time. To that end, we organize fundraisers that provide easy and fun ways for beer lovers to contribute to the community. We have been doing it for 11 years. In that time, we have raised nearly $100,000 for a number of different charitable causes. With love in our hearts and beer in our hands, we have helped pet shelters, food banks, women's shelters, and many other worthy causes. Go to the Seattle page and sign up to join us in our noble mission.
This Web site is way for us to tell the world about our mission and to attract new members. It also provides all sorts of interesting and fun beer-related information.

 The Truth About IPA
I have long been a fan of IPA. Back in the day when most people had never heard of craft beer, it was my favorite style of ale. I was an oddball.
Now, it seems that everyone loves IPA. There was a time, not long ago, when people thought you were a beer geek because you knew that IPA was an acronym for India Pale Ale. Nowadays, it seems that everyone knows that much. In fact, almost everyone knows that it was originally a colonial beer formulated to handle the voyage from England to India. The higher hop and alcohol content helped to preserve it for the 6 months the beer would spend at sea before reaching the lips of thirsty, homesick British colonialists.
If that’s all you know about IPA, then I suppose you deserve a smiley face on your report; however, if you want to consider yourself a real beer geek you need to know more.
Saint Arnold - Patron Saint of Brewers
 "From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world" - St. Arnold of Metz.
Saint Arnold was born to a prominent Austrian family in the year 580. Even back in those days the Austrians were famous for their love of beer, and admired for their brewing prowess. Beer was a proud Austrian tradition that was not wasted on young Arnold. Read the story of Saint Arnold.
